F. The word waive reminds me of when Aunt JoAnne waived her right as a parent when she gave her daughter up for adoption. This is because my aunt had to relinquish all her rights and her daughter would then live and be supported by someone else. Also, when my aunt waived her rights, she did it voluntarily. No force of action, like by the government or an outside source made my aunt giver her up; it was her free will. Using the word waive relates to a voluntary action, or to relinquish, which is exactly what she did. (megan h)
